ASpecification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,2 I3, datedSeptember 18, 1877; application lcd March 28, 1877.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Bc it known that I, WALTER E. BAGUE, of Pittsburg, in the county ofAlleghenyand State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement inFurniture Stands for Fire- Places, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the drawing accompanying thisspecification, and forming a part of the same.

My invention relates to a stand for lire-furniture, namely, a poker.tongs, and shovel.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a birds-eye view of myimprovement on stand for holding tire-furniture, showing the head soconstructed that it may be attached to any style of column, havingreceptacles for the poker, shovel, and tongs to rest in. Fig. 2 is a topview, showing the receptacles or rests ward and-upward from the base S',constitute supports for the rest R, which consists of a metallic bar,having the peculiar and convenient conformation clearly illustrated inFig.

2. As there shown, its angular-shaped arms form the rests al and a3,which will be found especially adapted for the poker and tongs, usuallyemployed in connection with a lireplace.

The angularfshaped arms b b, which project from the center of the mainbar, form a rest, a2, which is especially adapted for the reception of ashovel.

I propose to cast the barR with itsseveral angular-shaped arms in onepiece, and then to secure this upon the supporting-arms S S.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, the hereinldescribed stand forfire-places, consisting of a base, S', and the two branchingsupportingarms S S secured to the bar R, said bar being formed with thecentral and end angularly-shaped arms, and having the rests al, a2, anda3 for the articles set forth, substantially as shown and described.
